Infotainment.com - 12" UAX Installation - Ram Rebel

[@americaunboxed1449]

Best install video I’ve seen so far. Nicely done!

[@Cristiano-ronaldo-0750]

Now that's an installation video!

[@GeroldHarbin-oj2zr]

Very good instruction! I'm glad I went with the 12" when I bought my Laramie because I don't think I would have the patience you clearly have to do a DIY. 👍🏾👍🏾

[@danielfletcher1384]

WF41, Great straight forward video. I have the 12" in my 21 Rebel, but enjoy your videos, so decided to see how easy the swap was. I highly recommend you get a matte screen protector from the OCD Plug. You won't regret the purchase. You will never have fingerprints. I had a regular Mopar screen protector on it and didn't like it. Anyway, wanted to suggest the screen protector and maybe another video topic.

[@WaterFowler41]

Thanks much! I’ll look into it

[@TheHeatedGaming]

If I have the cooled seats, can they add that to the programmer to have it on the infotainment? Awesome tutorial btw.

[@WaterFowler41]

Should be able to! Thanks!

[@jeffojibway9284]

Can you keep the remote services? Like lock unlock doors from your phone? See the tire pressure and location of truck on your Ram app?

[@WaterFowler41]

I’ve never thought about the app, I’ll try and report back

[@northwoodsproductions3421]

If it wasn’t $4,000 I would buy one

[@WaterFowler41]

Gotta pay to play with these new trucks these days

[@5555-r9i]

You can get one aftermarket for 800

[@WaterFowler41]

@@5555-r9i the $800 unit is a cheap android tablet. You lose features by using those tablets.

[@72armydad]

What is the difference between the OEM 12 inch vs this 12 inch dispaly

[@WaterFowler41]

Aftermarket is an android based tablet which is why it’s so much cheaper. Install is quite a bit more intensive. With some of the cheaper options you lose features. Also if you wear polarized sunglasses the cheaper screens are harder to see. Most folks who install the cheaper aftermarket ones end up replacing them after a few months when the novelty wears off and they realized they sacrificed quality/features by going the cheaper route.

[@chrissmith3816]

@waterfowl Do you know if the Wi-Fi is working fine? Was there anything needed to update for att to get hotspot working again? Getting ready to swap to one but wanted to check and see if there is something needed

[@1koadog]

is that alum gear selector OEM ? or where did you get it

[@WaterFowler41]

It’s from ajt

[@felipeleon9536]

Do you have all parts numbers ,screen,radio module, wire , etc

[@WaterFowler41]

It’s a kit from infotainment. For me it was more practical to buy a turn key kit than trying to piecemeal everything together.

[@Adrenaline89Junky]

Why didn't you get the 2022 version so you can go wireless and full screen apple/ Android auto

[@WaterFowler41]

Wasn’t out when I did this project

[@CShell-cx5fp]

I purchased the 12" screen and brain from a wrecked Ram. Can the programming software be purchased separately? I have the radio in, but it won't come on.

[@WaterFowler41]

I’m not sure, you can try reaching out to the OBD Genie team

[@spurs5677]

You still need help

[@CurtisShell-gh6xi]

I'm all good now. Thx!

[@spurs5677]

@@CurtisShell-gh6xi how much you pay

[@LarryNorbert-zd1ox]

How did you get it programmed? I currently have screen and brain.

[@cris309]

How would I program the old radio back if I wanted to sell the truck?

[@WaterFowler41]

You would need to head back to Ram for that, I would just sell the old radio and get what you can get for it.

[@u.s.machineryassociates30]

It looks like you know what you are doing. Maybe you can help me out. I have a 2023 Ram 1500 Longhorn. I cannot figure out why the buttons around the infotainment screen and the steering wheel buttons are not lit during the day. Do you have or is there a way to get these buttons to be lit during the day?

[@jazairi213]

Maybe your dim switch for the dash is turned all the way up. Is the cluster and radio really bright at night?

[@hardworktv2415]

I have screen & module, how can I make that work? I tired putting it in my truck and lost certain functions as far as tailgate power and volume knob doesn’t work! Anyway I can buy just the programming if that’s what I need?

[@jwinebrenner78]

Did u have the nav in the 8.4? If not do u have it in the 12 now?

[@WaterFowler41]

I did not but now I do. I love having the factory nav on full screen while I drive. Helps to be able to see the roads around me

[@jasonroach8751]

excellent tutorial

I just upgrade my 8.4 screen to 12” but my a/c and bottoms from the screen doesn’t work do u know why?

Wait so does your rebel not have heated and cooled seats for the passenger and driver?

Do you have surround cameras?

[@WaterFowler41]

No just reverse cam

[@tippysvids]

Nice. I'd love to see a feature breakdown of what that thing can do. 😊

[@WaterFowler41]

There’s a list on Infotainment.com’s site. I have everything except Sirius since I let that feature expire

[@jakehale65]

what did infotainment give you for your old system?

[@WaterFowler41]

Ended up selling it locally to a buddy.

[@jakehale65]

@ that pretty much answers that question as expected 😂. Thanks

[@1jdm408]

Did you had navigation before the 12” my rebel don’t have navigation can I still upgraded to the 12” screen ?

Unfortunately no

[@angelr4429]

I need a similar upgrade…however it’s for my 2016 dodge charger. Comes with the older system that doesn’t have android auto and Apple car play. Just seems a little pricy for me (going from ra3 to ra4 8.4” screen). For you, that’s a bigger upgrade.

Awesome video! Thank you for posting, very concise. Can't wait to see the post on 5th Gen forums, those guys will love it. How does this work with factory over air updates?

[@WaterFowler41]

Thanks! To be honest, I am not sure, we'll see the next time a major update is pushed out to everyone.

[@gpaje]

@@WaterFowler41 No worries, I'm sure it's not an issue otherwise the company selling the package would have mentioned it. Awesome upgrade, convinced me to do it. I have the 8.4 NAV, so the glossy bezel which makes the screen seem bigger, but after seeing the 12", I have to do it :)

I have to keep fresh content on the channel and I know the uc4 to uc5 is a popular project so it was worth the $$ to upgrade. More content = happy viewers!

You spent a ton of money and time on that truck just to get rid of it and start all over on a new truck. Surely taking a massive hit $$$. ​@@WaterFowler41

I found one for 600$ I spent an extra 99 for the bypass and 65$ for the extra 2 cables that you need online and since I didn’t know the anti theft code I spend another 10$ to get it

[@WaterFowler41]

cool, only risk there is lack of warranty.

[@cantfumbletrades]

Yo bro does it have CarPlay?

Yes with uconnect4 it had wired CarPlay. Ram just repressed uconnect5 which has wireless CarPlay

[@Son_of_Thor]

Great video, but did you mention anywhere that infotainment wants $4000 for that thing?

[@WaterFowler41]

Thanks! Keep in mind quality isn’t cheap and cheap isn’t quality. A lot of parameters in these trucks are controlled through these radios so not something I’d suggest cutting corners on.

@WaterFowler41 not about budget. It's the fact that it costs more than the entire level B package from dodge which includes the screen and HK stereo system and way more... for $4k it should include a whole new speaker and amp setup
